Star of West Coast Choppers, Jesse James issued an apology Thursday to his wife Sandra Bullock and his three children.

In a statement provided to People magazine, he says:

"The vast majority of the allegations reported are untrue and unfounded. Beyond that, I will not dignify these private matters with any further public comment.

"There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me. It's because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way.

"This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them. I am truly very sorry for the grief I have caused them. I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me."

James' wife, Sandra Bullock, nixed the London premiere of The Blind Side on Wednesday, the same day a tabloid alleged that James, 40, was having an affair with a tattooed stripper name Michelle "Bombshell" McGee. Bullock's planned appearance on the UK's Jonathan Ross show has been put onhold as well.  Bullock is stepmother to the Spike TV star's children from previous relationships; five-year-old Sunny's mother is adult film star Janine Lindemulder, who served time in jail and lost her custody battle with the reality TV star.
